There are lots of tests that are trying to use file based repositories
for certain conditions. This is why in 2.0.9 I had added the
external:* :

external:* matches all repositories except those using localhost or
file based repositories. This is used in conjunction with a repository
manager when you want to exclude redirecting repositories that are
defined for Integration Testing.

Maybe we should update the default setting.xml in the book, but it's
pretty rare that people are using file repos for their ITs (read:
pretty much only maven ;-)  )
